In a surprise announcement as part of their Summer of Fear Part 2 lineup, Scream Factory has announced a Blu for Wes Cravens awesome class warfare horror-comedy, The People Under the Stairs.
Though no date has been revealed (August is expected), Scream Factory did post the new art for the film, writing on Facebook: Our Summer of Fear Part 2 line-up continues to increase with our plans to release Wes Cravens fascinating and weird (in the best way possible) cult favorite The People Under the Stairs in an all-new Collectors Edition release! Planned release is for August and pre-order links will go up next month. The newly designed artwork you see here is official. (Purists: Yes, the classic “skull house” original poster art will be on the flip side too.) No exact details to announce about if any upcoming extras but we already have two all-new ones banked and more planned.
The 1991 film concerns young Fool. Facing eviction, the boy attempts to break in to the rich Robeson household (his familys landlords), and in the process finds a dungeon-like basement of pale, captive kids. The People Under the Stairs stars Brandon Quintin Adams, Ving Rhames, Everett McGill and Wendy Robie. If youve never seen, its an entirely gonzo affair about class disparity. It rules.
